Mozilla SVG Status

This document covers the status of Mozilla SVG in the current development version ("trunk"). If you are looking for information about Firefox 2's SVG capabilities, that information is on a separate page.

Elements

A quick overview of the SVG 1.1 elements and the current status of the native support. The sections are marked with their current status: supported, in progress, and not currently supported. Most of the unimplemented portions fall into two major modules: fonts and animation.
